University of Houston researchers develop a new class of 3D printed ceramics that can bend under pressure without breaking.

Researchers at UH create flexible, durable ceramic materials using origami-inspired designs and polymer coatings.

The invention is a metamaterial, which is a material engineered to feature new and unusual properties that depend on the material's physical structure rather than its chemical composition. In this ...

In a breakthrough that blends ancient design with modern materials science, researchers at the University of Houston have ...

In an experiment reminiscent of the "Transformers" movie franchise, engineers at Princeton University have created a type of ...

Bendable ceramic origami material created in the UH lab of Maksud Rahman, assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace ...

“Rose Window 10,” created by Ithaca artist Werner Sun in 2022, is the result of an extended improvisation on mathematical ...

Micro decisions can have macro consequences. A soft matter physicist reveals how interactions within simple cellular ...

On a beach in Northern Poland, buried treasure has been found. A beautiful intricately inlaid dagger from the Bronze Age, perhaps once used in a ceremony by a “solar cult”, was dug up by a ...

Mathematicians have finally solved a geometry problem that has puzzled the field for decades. By wiggling a needle around while spinning it, you can minimize the amount of space it moves through ...

They discovered a piece of history lodged in a lump of clay: a small ornamental dagger decorated with stars, crescent moons and geometric patterns. The metal detectorists, Jacek Ukowski and ...
